Saudi Arabia May Be Tied to 9/11, 2 Ex-Senators Say

82. If you can point to where I make any claim on this to be "right"...

...then it will be news to me.

My point here is that Snopes cites the 911 Commission report exclusively to debunk the issue at hand. That still leaves a cloud over it.

Since you are correct that I am not a Truther, I haven't gone over it with a fine tooth comb looking for nits to pick. But I wasn't born yesterday either. Lee Hamilton has repeatedly given massive Republican scandals a pass. He did not vigorously pursue investigations of Iran-Contra (thanks in part to strong influence by co-committeeman Dick Cheney), declared allegations of drug-running by the contra-supply network unfounded without investigation, and helped suppress proper investigation of alleged collusion by the Reagan campaign in 1980 and Iran over release of the embassy hostages.

So when he was picked (by a White House where Dick Cheney pretty much ran things) to co-chair a commission about an event with potentially all sorts of Republican ass-covering, it is not unfair to have more than a few suspicions that it may be lacking in vigor at getting to the bottom of things, especially in regard to the lower-level ass-covering issues for which there was greater potential to have actually happened.
